Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs and have been shown to either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture. They alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors. Promotes cell migration. .
Scientific background (datasheet): IGFBP1, Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1, also known as placental protein 12 (PP12), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGFBP1 gene. The IGFBP1 gene has 4 exons and spans 5.9 kb. The IGFBP1gene is localized to 7p13-p12 by in situ hybridization. This gene is a member of the Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP domain and a type-I thyroglobulin domain. The protein binds both insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II and circulates in the plasma. Binding of this protein prolongs the half-life of the IGFs and alters their interaction with cell surface receptors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Secreted.
Tissue details (datasheet): Expressed in brain, lung and heart. Expressed at very low level in placenta and skeletal muscles. Isoform 2 is detected in osteoarthritic synovium. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 1 IGFBP N-terminal domain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Atherosclerosis,Cancer,Cardiovascular,Diabetes-associated,Growth Factors,Growth Factors/Hormones,Signal Transduction.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
